CARE AND CLEANING

Proper care and cleaning are important so your cooktop will give you efficient
and satisfactory service. Follow these directions carefully in caring for it to
help assure safe and proper maintenance.

BE SURE ELECTRIC POWER IS OFF BEFORE CLEANING ANY
PART OF THE COOKTOP.

Control Knobs

The control knobs may be removed for cleaning.

Before removing the knobs for cleaning, please note
that the knobs on the left side and the knobs on the
right side are in the proper OFF position. When
replacing the knobs, check the OFF position to 
insure proper alignment.

To remove a knob, pull it straight off the stem.

Wash the knobs in soap and water but do not soak.
Avoid getting water down in to the knob stem holes. 

To replace a knob, locate the groove in each side of
the knob stem. One of the grooves contains a spring
clip and the other groove is clear. Locate the molded
rib inside the knob. Fit the molded rib into the clear
groove on the knob stem.

Porcelain Enamel Cooktop 

(on some models)

Brushed Chrome Cooktop 

(on some models)

The porcelain enamel finish is sturdy but
breakable if misused. 
This finish is acid-resistant.
However, any acid foods spilled (such as fruit juices,
tomato or vinegar) should not be permitted to remain
on the finish.

If acids spill on the cooktop while it is hot, use a dry
paper towel or cloth to wipe it up right away. When
the surface has cooled, wash with soap and water.
Rinse well.

For other spills such as fat spatterings, wash with
soap and water or cleansing powders after the surface
has cooled. Rinse well. Polish with a dry cloth.

Clean the brushed chrome top with warm, soapy
water or Bon Ami

®

brand cleanser and immediately

dry it with a clean, soft cloth. Take care to dry the
surface following the “grain.” To help prevent finger
marks after cleaning, spread a thin film of baby oil on
the surface or a chrome protectant may be used to
help reduce spotting or fingerprinting. Wipe away
excess oil with a clean, soft cloth.
